In this case the shorts are and have always been a sub-set to driving the share-price higher. If and when the company actually confirms their first financial DEAL!!!!!! the DEMAND is what will make the price go up, and then short covering will take it much higher. This daily drivel of shorts, shorts, shorts, is a diversion to what the share-price needs-The Vein.
Since $20, the shorts have been the winners every day, and the only others that benefit are new shareholders, and the surprising long-term shareholders with more than a million shares, that want it to go lower so they can just buy a few thousand more shares, because only then will they have enough to change their lives.
